375 out of 385 programs are eligible for Post Graduation Work Permit.

The Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP) allows students who have graduated from a participating Canadian post-secondary institution to gain valuable Canadian work experience.

The IRCC has published a preliminary list of programs that are eligible for the PGWPP. Based on our current knowledge, which is subject to change, these programs align with five field of study categories:

agriculture and agri-foods

Cooperative education (or co-operative education) and internships are methods of combining classroom-based education with practical work experience. A cooperative education experience ("co-op"), provides academic credit for structured job experience. Co-ops are full-time, paid or unpaid positions. Internships may be full-time or part-time, paid or unpaid positions.

Even if students do NOT meet Carleton's minimum English requirement (IELTS or TOEFL), they can still be conditionally accepted to the program of their choice. Carleton will admit students to the degree program with the requirement that they complete up to three English language classes during the first terms of study.

Students need to plan their accommodations well in advance of their arrival as all accommodation options fill up quickly, well before the start of the semester.

On-Campus Residence Accommodations

Carleton University offers a First-Year Residence Guarantee: A double traditional room is guaranteed to all new, first-year students entering directly from high school—provided they receive an offer of admission on or before May 15. Other on-Campus residence accommodations are provided per discretion by the school.  

Residence is ideal for students who want to experience university life as a member of a vibrant, close-knit community. Carleton is home to eight residence halls, and students will love living minutes away from their classes, the library, athletics and a large dining hall. Residence offers friendship, support, convenience, and community! 

Carleton’s award-winning Residence Life program is designed to help students reach their academic and personal goals, and includes residence counsellors, live-in residence staff and a focus on learning outside the classroom.

Off-Campus Accommodations

The local area has a variety of off-campus rental housing options including single homes, duplexes, apartments and rooms for rent. Students wishing to live off-campus need to research availability on their own and should arrive well before the start of term to do so.

Students are encouraged to use Carleton University's off-campus housing services to assist in securing accommodations.
